A BAD NASAL ORGAN.

For over four years / have been a great sufferer
from n terrible form of Nasal Catarrh. I was greatly
annoyed with a constant roaring in my head and my
hearing became very much impaired.
The discharge from my nose was profuse and very
offensive, and my general health impaired. / tried
most all prominent physicians, but they did not cure
me, and | used various advertised preparations with
out benefit.
One day l Glanced to read a remarkable article
written by n prominent citizen of Athens, Georgia.,
stating that he had been permanently cured by the
Use of eight bottles of B. 3. B.-Botanic Blood Balm.
Being ~skeptical on the subject, I wrote 10 him on the
subject and received Il most encouraging answer to
the effect that he had been cured long enough TO be
thoroughly satisfied that no return of the disease
would ensue.
then sent to the drug store Of T. E. Smith * Bro,
and purchased b. B. b., and to my utter astonisll-
ment and satisfaction the use of ten bottles has re-
stored my general health, stopped the roaring sensa-
ton, entirely healed and cured the nasal catarrh and
| am proud 10 common a blood remedy with such
powerful curative properties.
I shall continue its use a little longer and feel con-
fdcnt that l will be entirely cured of one OF the most
obstinate cases of nasal catarrl In the country.
The business men of our town know of my case.

How COFFEE ACTs.-Coffee acts upon
the brain as a stimulant, melting it to in
creased activity and producing sleepless-
ness; hence it is Of great value as an anti
dote to narcotic poisons. 1t is also sup
posed to prevent too rapid waste in the
tissues of the body, and in that way ena-
bles it to support life on less food. The ef-
fects are due to the volatile and also to a
peculiar crystalizable heterogeneous princi-
pie, termed caffeine. The leaves of the
plant likewise contain the same principle,
and the inhabitants of the island of Lu-
matsa prefer an infusion of the leaves to
are also Changed, the heat causing the de-
velopment of the volatile oil and peculiar
acid which gives aroma and lavor.-,Sci-

PICTURES On THE WALLs.-The influ-
ence of dwelling habitually in the presence
of a striking work of art can hardly be
overestimated, whether the work be of
such a character as to debase or 10 ennoble.
The pencil of the artist is bribed to make
the den of vice doubly alluring to the in
toxicated senses of the r~eveler, while the
glowing ardor of the religious devotee
rises almost to ecstacy as he gazes upon the
vivid representation of the tragedy of CAL
vary. AS are the pictures upon the walls
of the home, so are the pictures hung in
visible to all but ourselves in the cham
bers of the imagination, where, night and
day, they make much of the real world in
which we live. Whether we dwell day
by day with a picture or human being,
the influence of the companionship is hard
ly greater in the latter case than in the
fOrmer,-COSmODOItQn,

The State Supreme Court has just de-
cided that the money arising from the
personal service of a married woman du-
ring servitude belongs to the husband, and
may be reached by his creditors. The
doctrine is a remnant of the old common
law doctrine of the unity of husband and
wife which has never been repealed by
the Legislature.

WILD PONIES ON THE SOUTHERN COAST.

On the banks or sand bars that divide
the Atlantic Ocean from Pamlico Sound,
n. c., Just inside the light house that
marks out to the mariners dreaded Cape
Lookout, there is to be found a hardy race
of ponies known as "Bankers." These
ponies have lived there as long as the ira
dition of the oldest %inhabitant dates back.
Entirely surrounded by deep water at all
seasons, having no communication with
the mainland, and being barren of vegeta-
ton, save a scanty growth Of sedge grass
and shrubs, the banks have remained I'M
inhabited except by these ponies, which
seem to thrive and multiply in spite of the
hardships to which they are exposed.
How they first came there, or Of what orr
gin, is conjecture, and tradition merely
hints the story Of a violent storm, with its
attendant shipWreck and loss of all on
board, save a lot of ponies from some Eu-
ropean port, which were cast upon the
sands, and surviving the storm, became
the ~progenitors of the race of Bankers
now so numerous. Having to rely on in
stinct alone, these animals are a subject of
study to the naturalist, as they are a prey
not only to the driving sands but to the
storms of the Cape that break upon and
over the narrow sand bar, and change with
each recurring hurricane the topography
of the country. The ponies, choosing the
protected side of the sand hillocks, burroW
deep into the yielding sand, and stamp
out a protected stall where they take ref
uge from the storm and, while many are
destroyed, their number has increased.

NATURAL RELIGION.-Llttle George,
after his mother had prepared him Tor bed,
while still in her lap, used to say ms even,
ling prayer. One night he said: II don't
want TO saw my prayers this way" and
getting out of his mothers lap he knelt
down before her and placing his open
hands together, repeated his prayer.
When the father heard of this he was
much interested. He always felt that this
was the proper attitude in prayer in the
family and in the closet. AS nothing had
been said to George on the subject, he
thought it was evidence of a sort of natu-
raj religion.
"George," said his father, "do you sup
pose God likes to have you say your pray
ers this way better than the way you used
tt? ?"
ooh! I don't. suppose God cares any
thing about it. I was thinking of the
kangaroo" ,
He had lately been to the menagerie and
seen that animal sitting on its Launches
with its fore feet placed together some
what as he placed his hands in saying his
prayers.
GAVE HIM AwAY.-Mr. Denny is a
minister with quite a family OF children:
He entertains his friends quite often az
the parsonage, anu usually az ~
has a custom of giving certain things at
the table into the charge of certain of
the children. Benny, for example, sees
that the guests are properly taken care OF
in the way of meats and other solids.
Harold has bread and butter and things
of that nature under his supervision, while
the little girls have their special provln-
ces in the realms of sweets. One evening
Mr.. Denny CHANGED to notice that a broth
er of the cloth was without a biscuit:
"Why, DOCTOR" said he, "you haven't
had the biscuits passed you. Why, really
doctor, this is a great oversight. Harold,
my boy, no biscuits yet passed to DIR.
Holmesw/
"Father,n said the tiny Harold, who al
ways speaks slowly and with great so!em-
nifty, and who tonight had in his voice a
reproach that his beloved father had tor
a moment believed him unmindful of his
trust-'father, he has had three already"

QUEER CASE IN INDIA.-An eXtraordi-
nary appeal case has lately been heard in
Madras which puts in evidence the active
character of existing superstitions. One
of the accused in the original case gave
birth in December last to a male child
having four eyes, the face of a monkey,
and crooked arms and legs, while it grunt-
ed like a pig Immediately on its birth.
The midwife placed the child under a
trough and sat upon it, both she and the
mother raising cries of alarm. The male
prisoners then came and took the child
into a field and killed it by striking it on
the head with a club.
Their explanation was that the child
was an evil spirit, which they were justi-
fed by the custom of the country in kill
ing in order to prevent it from doing evil.
The Judge acquitted them on the ground
of a mistake of fact. This decision was
necessarily upset on appeal: The accused
believed that unless the child had been
killed it would have grown to an immense
size and devastated the country, and that
they were, therefore, committing a meri-
torious action in obviating so grave a pub
lie calamity.

INTEREST VS.. LAND.-Land sales seem
to have been been dull in all the counties
last sales-day. People who have money
do not wish to buy land. The money at
ten per cent. interest is more than the
land can be rented for. Look the Union
over and you will find in every State,
where there is a high rate on money, land
is cheap, and consequently has little value
as a security for loans. On the other hand
where the rate of interest is low, lands
are valued high. 1t is not c%ontended that
the rate of interest regulates the price of
land, but it is an important factor in fix
ing the price. 1t is thus: While money
is at seven per cent, men who have it
do not care to lend it at that. They can
buy farms, improve them, or invest in
manufacturing enterprises, all of which
pay better than lending at seven per cent.
Improved farms and building factories
add to the solid wealth Of the country,
increases the demand for real estate and
raises the price. You put money at ten
per cent. interest, and people want to sell
their surplus land right away, to place
their cash at ten per cent. interest. The
market is soon glutted, the price goes
down, few farms are purchased and i'm
proved and nothingis added to the wealth
of the community. Seven per cent. is a
good fertilizer, ten per cent. is a thirsty
distressing sucker.-PtckenS Sentinel.
